How to Become a Wife of Integrity
Woven within being the wife God would have you to be is becoming a wife of integrity. Often times this may seem like an unrealistic expectation, but it's not. Yes, it is easy to get overwhelmed with thoughts of not doing enough or measuring up to another woman's marriage. However, being a wife is a blessing.
No matter what you've done or where your marriage currently stands, there is always room for improvement. Scripture is filled with both instruction and encouragement to help you become the wife God called you to be – a wife of integrity.
A Wife of Integrity Defined
If you look up the definition of integrity, you'll see characteristics and qualities like:
- having good moral principles
- being whole and undivided
These qualities alone are great, but when truly activated in your life, you'll then see and feel its effects in your marriage. While there isn't a one-step, fix-all in becoming a wife of integrity, below are five practical, biblically sound tips to help you become the wife God called you to be.
A Praying Wife
You've probably heard it said before, "Prayer is a powerful weapon!" And there is a good reason for it. All throughout Scripture you can find a number of prayers – over 600 to be exact. This alone shows the importance (and power) of prayer.
When it comes to our marriages, this same level of importance certainly applies. Being a praying wife for your husband, yourself, and your marriage can do a number of things. It can:
- relinquish our control and rightfully give it to God
- offer protection
- give favor
- supply needs
These are not only vital for a thriving marriage, but also as a praying wife of integrity. If you're looking for a starting point in praying for your spouse, consider these topics and Scriptures:
- His mind: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Romans 8:6, Romans 7:25, Mark 12:30
- Temptations: James 1:13-15, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Galatians 5:19-21
- Integrity: Proverbs 28:6, Proverbs 11:3, Psalm 7:8, Psalm 26:1
Below are topics and Scriptures to pray over yourself:
- Exhibit fruit of the Spirit: Galatians 5:22-23
- Unity: Amos 3:3
- To be forgiving: Ephesians 4:32
Extra tip: Use this LOVE Scripture journal to pray for your spouse, marriage, and your role as a godly wife.
A Wife in the Word
Being a wife in the Word can go hand-in-hand with being a praying wife. If you are using the Word to pray over your marriage, then most likely you are staying in your Word. While we can use Scripture to pray for our marriage, it is also a good idea to stay in the Word for much more.
Often times it's easy to go this verse, then jump to that verse; however, the Bible offers some powerful stories that can be used as life lessons… especially for us as wives. The go-to standard is typically Proverbs 31, but Scripture offers so much more than that.
There are several other wives we can read about who showed characteristics worth adopting and following (as well as some good what-not-to-do lessons):
- Sarah: although she finds herself in a pickle with badly wanting children, she also followed her husband wherever God called them to go. Her faithfulness rewarded her with being the mother of many nations.
- Ruth: she exhibits faithfulness and a humbleness still talked about today. After the passing of her husband, she stuck with her mother-in-law (who also lost her husband). She was rewarded with Boaz and the gift of being in the direct lineage of Jesus.
- Elizabeth: being another woman who experienced barrenness, she and her husband eventually conceived. Elizabeth was also filled with the Holy Spirit after the encounter with her cousin Mary (who was pregnant with Jesus at the time).
What these wives of integrity show us is that having the presence of the Holy Spirit, being humble and trustworthy, and having unity with our spouses can reap great reward.
Extra tip: Choose a different woman/wife in Scripture to study each month.
A Speaker of Life-Giving Words
There's another quote that comes to mind when thinking of being a wife who speaks life – "Behind every strong man is a wife speaking life into him." The term "speak life" is another topic that when searched, will bring up hundreds of verses.
There is much power behind the words we speak, so much power that Scripture says they carry life and death. If the words spoken to (and over) our husbands are positive and uplifting, it pushes them toward God and the calling on their life. When they are negative and belittling, the opposite happens.
When thinking about speaking life-giving words over your husband, consider the following:
- Believe from your heart what God says about him: Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 15:18-19
- Voice his strengths (not only his weaknesses): Psalm 141:3, Proverbs 16:24
- Speak with grace and truth: Psalm 34:12, Psalm 15:4
Extra tip: Find life-giving verses, write them on notecards, and post them around your home.
A Seeker of Wisdom and Understanding
Wisdom and understanding are considered the glue to many things. Without it, one's spiritual walk, marriage, and everything they do can become a list of systematic rules and things taken out of context. With it comes eye-opening encounters and experiences.
The road to becoming a wife of integrity is paved with seeking wisdom and understanding. Why? Because marriage is not always easy. There are downs just like there are ups. There are bad days just the same as good days. And in most cases, it's wisdom and understanding that will keep you on track.
Scripture tells us plainly why and how to pursue these characteristics:
- If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him. -James 1:5
- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!" -Proverbs 16:16
- "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom." -James 3:13
There are many more verses that speak of seeking wisdom and understanding. As the previous tip suggested, find more verses about this topic and write them on notecards, or in your journal. Pray them over yourself, your husband, and marriage.
A Teachable Wife
Titus 2 gives such an amazing account of what it means to be teachable. In the journey of becoming a wife of integrity, it is important to link up with other godly wives who can help guide and teach you along the way.
This is another area in which Scripture plainly lays out the role of older women:
"The older women likewise are to be set-apart in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of what is good, in order for them to train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, blameless, workers at home, good, subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of God is not evil spoken of." -Titus 2:3-5
That passage alone sums up the other tips suggested above, and some. When you can connect with other like-minded, spiritually-grounded wives of integrity, it becomes a win-win for you and your marriage.
These simple, but powerful tips will put your role as a wife of integrity into full speed ahead in your marriage. Take your time as you begin to implement them, and hang on for the marital ride of your life. You'll be amazed at how God will begin to move you and your marriage!

The annual solar UVA exposures in four cars were estimated by measuring the UVA irradiances in the vehicles in each of the four seasons and in the morning, noon and afternoon. For the cars with untinted windows the maximum UVA irradiances in cars do not necessarily occur at noon when the outside irradiances are at their highest. Additionally, they do not occur in summer. The range of annual UVA exposures between 9:00 and 15:00 EST is 1918 to 6177 J.cm-2 for the cars without the after-market window tint. These correspond to 5% to 17% of the ambient UVA on a horizontal plane over the same period outside the cars. The range is for the different sites in the car. For the car with the after-market window tint, the range of the annual UVA exposures was 489 to 2969 J.cm-2 or 1% to 8% of the ambient UVA.

Definition - What does Caveat Emptor mean?
Caveat emptor is a Latin phrase that means "let the buyer beware."
Functionally, courts apply caveat emptor as a rule to limit the ability of purchasers to sue sellers when the purchaser failed to reasonably test, examine or inspect a purchased product.
When sellers attach a caveat emptor warning to what they are selling, they are typically warning purchasers that they must take what they buy "as is."
Justipedia explains Caveat Emptor
If someone was selling a used car with a caveat emptor warning, a potential buyer would be put on notice to take the car for a test drive, and to examine things like the engine, transmission and brakes before buying the car. Caveat emptor would prevent this buyer from suing the seller if, after buying the car, the buyer learned that the car's brakes needed to be replaced.
However, caveat emptor does not protect sellers if they engage in fraudulent or negligent selling practices. So, in the used car example, caveat emptor would not protect the seller if the seller promised the buyer that the car's brakes were in perfect condition.

Satellite Image of Lake Carnegie in Australia
Lansat 7 (15m) Satellite Image of Lake Carnegie in Australia
Click on image to view in high resolution.
Lake Carnegie is an ephemeral lake in Western Australia. It fills with water only during very rare periods of significant rainfall, such as during the huge 1900 floods and in numerous recent tropical wet seasons when the monsoon and tropical cyclones have been moved south by recent climate change. In dry years, it is reduced to a muddy marsh.
Water entering the lake, unlike in more easterly playas of the Australian arid zone, does not come from well-defined river channels since the soils of the region are so weathered – lacking tectonic or glacial activity since the Carboniferous ice ages – that sediment is completely absent and the terrain so flat that only the most unweatherable rocks remain on the surface and well-defined river channels cannot form especially since the extreme age of the soils and consequent high rooting density of native flora limits runoff to an extreme extent.

Let $A$, $B$ and $C$ be discrete countable groups. Let $\alpha$ be an action of $A$ on $B$ and let $\beta$ be an action of $B$ on $C$.
Question Does there always exist a group $G$ which has $A$, $B$ and $C$ as subgroups and such that the group generated by $A$ and $B$ is $A\ltimes B$ and the group generated by $B$ and $C$ is $B\ltimes C$?
One obvious situation when such a group $G$ exists is when the action $\beta$ extends to an action of $A\ltimes B$. Then we can take $G=(A\ltimes B)\ltimes C$. But I'm interested in situations when $\beta$ doesn't extend.
For example take $A$ to be the infinite cyclic group with generator $t$, $B$ to be the free group on infinitely many generators indexed by $\mathbb Z$ (denote the generators by $g_n, n\in \mathbb Z$), and $C$ to be the rational numbers. Let $g_n$ act on $C$ by multiplication by $n$ if $n\neq 0$ and by identity for $n=0$, and let $t$ act on $B$ by sending $g_n$ to $g_{n+1}$.
Question In this specific situation does there exist $G$ as above?

The solution below via HNN-extensions shows this works in general, by appealing to 'big' groups. An interesting further question is "When does there exist a group $G$ as above, generated by $A, B$ and $C$?" – Jonathan Kiehlmann Jul 7 '11 at 11:55
The amalgamated product is generated by $A,B,C$. You probably meant something else. – Mark Sapir Jul 7 '11 at 13:24
1 Answer 1
up vote 12 down vote accepted
The answer to the specific question is "yes". Let $U$ be the semidirect product of $C$ and $B$. Then as $G$, you take the HNN extension of $U$ with the free letter $t$ and associated subgroups equal to $B$, with the automorphism provided by the shift of generators. The result then follows from the usual properties of HNN extensions. The same argument applies in general when $A$ is cyclic.
In general you can take the semidirect products and take their amalgamated product with amalgamated subgroup $B$.

A Hattiesburg museum is paying special tribute in February to soldiers who served in the Gulf War more than 20 years ago. In recognition of Black History Month, the African-American Military History Museum is hosting a temporary exhibit on that conflict, with a special emphasis on the evolution of technology through war history.
Changing technology in the Gulf War was the focus of a lecture at the museum Saturday morning from Southern Miss professor of history Dr. Andrew Wiest. His was the first of four presentations that will take place in February honoring veterans of the Gulf War.
"It's important to honor soldiers of any war and the Gulf War has been kind of, in some ways, historically glossed over and almost forgotten, considering the wars that are still going on in that area today," said Wiest.
"It's just very important that we say thank you to each veteran that has served our country, especially during a time of conflict," said LaToya Norman, general manager of the African-American Military History Museum.
Each of the Gulf War presentations will take place Saturday mornings at 11 o'clock.

TTI Study Finds Arsenic and Lead in Imported Glass Beads
The American Glass Bead Manufacturers' Association, which sponsored the study, is urging states and the U.S. government to limit heavy metal levels in glass beads used for highway markings.
A recent study sponsored by the American Glass Bead Manufacturers' Association says that a growing number of imported glass bead products for highway markings have high concentrations of heavy metals, including arsenic and lead.
The findings of the study, which was conducted by Texas A&M University's Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), were presented last month at the American Traffic Safety Services Association's 41st Annual Convention and Traffic Expo in Phoenix, Ariz.
The TTI study showed that imported glass beads had extremely high levels of arsenic and lead and were susceptible to rapid leaching with exposure to water. The high levels of heavy metal substances pose a hazard to highway worker safety and are an environmental threat, in terms of runoff into the soil, surface water, and drinking water, according to the association.
The trade group notes that glass beads manufactured by companies in emerging nations, particularly China, continue to use glass made from old glass-making techniques that require chemical modification, resulting in products containing high levels of arsenic and lead. U.S. producers use such materials as recycled flat glass to make glass beads, which do not contain high levels of arsenic and lead. These products are primarily used for highway safety markings, providing the light-reflective lane markings found on highways around the world.
"These findings are consistent with results from a recent New Jersey Institute of Technology/Rowan University study and also confirm what our membership has known to be true for some time," said Robert McClune, association president. "It's time for state and federal transportation officials and lawmakers to act and establish a federal standard for engineered glass beads in highway markings and prevent these hazardous substances from being applied to our roads and highways," he said.
Such a bill was introduced Feb. 15 by U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster. The Safe Highway Markings Act of 2011prescribes standards for glass beads used in pavement markings, limiting the arsenic or lead content to 200 parts per million. The bill, which has been sent to the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, also requires the Secretary of Transportation to withhold up to 5 percent of the apportionment of federal-aid highway funds for any state that fails to enforce requirements to ensure that glass beads used in pavement markings on or along federal-aid highway roads or highways do not contain more than 200 parts per million arsenic or lead.
Setting a heavy metals standard for glass beads has gained strong support from environmental groups like the Sierra Club, state and federal lawmakers, and unions like the International Union of Operating Engineers, according to the association. Nineteen states have adopted laws or regulations that require the use of non-toxic materials in the production of glass beads for highway markings. This same issue is gaining traction globally with the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and several Canadian provinces. China has also set strict heavy metal standards for internal use but continues to export contaminated glass bead products to other nations, according to the association.
Based in Valley Forge, Pa., the association was established in 1991 and represents a majority of the glass bead manufacturing base in the United States. The trade group works toward the betterment of the industry and is involved in programs to expand and improve highway safety. For more information, call _PHONE_.

Snapshot
The snapshot block takes a snapshot of a given expression when a discrete events is triggered.
In versions prior to Ecolego 6, this functionality was incorporated in the recorder block.
When creating a snapshot block, you must specify either the name of the object to monitor, or an expression to monitor. This is called the "Target expression". You also select a discrete events which will trigger the snapshot.
Creating a snapshot block
From the Projects window
 - Expand the Project to which you wish to add the snapshot by clicking the + symbol next to it. Right-click on 'Blocks', or a sub-system in 'Blocks', and select Snapshot from the pop-up menu.
From the Matrix window
 - Right click an empty diagonal cell of the matrix and select Snapshot from the the pop-up menu.
From the Blocks window
 - Place the mouse anywhere over the area of this window and right-click on it. Select New | Snapshot from the pop-up menu, or
 - In the title bar, select Snapshot from the Type drop-down list and click on the New button.
Editing a snapshot block
NoteMost block properties can be edited directly in the Blocks window.
The block editor is shown by right-clicking the block in a window and selecting Edit. In the Blocks window, you can also show the block editor by selecting the block and clicking the Edit button, or by double-clicking the right-most "validation" column of the block.
The block editor has three tabs:
Properties
This page lets you edit basic properties such as name, sub-system and base unit. See editing properties for more information.
Appearance
This page lets you edit the visual properties of the block in the matrix window and graph window. See editing appearance for more information.
Values
Dimension - You can specify the dimension of the block by using the Type drop down list. Depending on the dimension the index drop down lists are activated.
Data - The data table let you specify index specific properties like target expression.
 - Indices - For blocks that are non-scalar, the first columns will specify indices from the index lists. This allows you to specify different expressions for different indices.
 - Target expression - Enter either just the ID of an object to monitor, or enter a full expression.
 - Event - Select a discrete event which will trigger the snapshot. The value of the block will then be equal to the current value of target expression.
 - Initial value - Enter an expression for the initial value of the block, until the first snapshot has been taken.
 - Information - By using the Table control button you can display more columns that will help you document your model.
Example: Min/Max, Snapshot
Consider a model which simulates the financial transactions between yourself and your bank. A block named balance contains the current balance of your accounts. You wish to find out the maximum amount of money on your account over the month, and present this value by month.
To achieve this we need a discrete event which at the beginning of each month will
 1. Reset the Min/Max block.
 2. Take a snapshot of the Min/Max block.
The reason that we use a snapshot is because the value of the Min/Max block will change over the month as money are deposited or withdrawn from your accounts.
Assuming that the time unit is years, create a discrete event named Event_new_month with the following values:
Property Value
Left expression time/12-round(time/12)
Direction
Right expression0
Create a min/max block named balance_max, with the operation of Maximum. Give it the following values:

Throttle Modes
From Train Control Systems Documentation
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Overview
Check out our video overview of all of the Throttle Modes available in TCS WOWSound, or continue reading for detailed descriptions of each mode individually
Prototype Throttle Mode
Proto Notch
Proto Notch™ is the TCS exclusive approach to matching the motive power sounds of your model locomotive with the prototype. Using our advanced BEMF motor algorithm, Proto Notch™ decoders can sense exactly how much force is being applied to the rails to move your locomotive and train. By matching that information with prototype performance, we can scale the effort of the model to the real thing and play the right sound to match the work being done.
WOWDiesel
WOWDiesel decoders are configured with diesel-specific prototypical notching. The WOWDiesel decoder selects which notch (1-8) the prototype locomotive would have to be in to haul your scale load at your scale speed. Then it plays the corresponding prime mover sound to emulate the correct power for that notch.
WOWSteam
WOWSteam decoders are configured with variable chuff intensity to emulate prototypical throttling. Your locomotives will make faster and harsher chuff sounds as you ramp up speed or increase the load, and soften to slower and smoother chuffs under lighter loads and less pressure. When the locomotive is coasting, rod clanks and snifters also activate depending on coasting rate and track grade.
The video below can teach you all you need to know about Prototype Throttle Mode:
WOWDiesel Auto Notching
TCS brought auto notching to the model train hobby with the advent of the very first WOWDiesel decoder. It is arguably the coolest feature of the WOWSound decoder!
Auto notching is only available in the Prototype Throttle Mode. Auto notching allows the decoder to sense the load it is under, and decide what notch to be in. Auto notching is unlike Traditional Throttle Mode where the active notch is based exclusively on the speed. With Auto notching the prime mover sound is constantly changing as it goes up hills, around curves, picks up more cars, and coasts down hills!
In order to make the best use of auto notching, you must calibrate the locomotive in Audio Assist® so it knows what the ruling grade is on your layout and will be in notch 8 as it traverses it. Every locomotive is different, both in the sense of unqiue characteristics of the motor and gearing, as well as the "normal" operating conditions in which you run it. All of these factors need to be accounted for, and thus a calibration is needed in order for the decoder to "learn" your railroad.
To calibrate your WOWDiesel locomotive so that it knows the ruling grade and downhill grades on your layout enter Audio Assist® and go to the calibration menu (menu 3.2) and follow the audio prompt from the decoder. It will ask you to run the locomotive in a coasting condition and then a notch 8 condition. (PRO TIP: While on the calibration menu you can calibrate the coasting point by pressing function 1 or the notch 8 point by pressing button 2, even if the menu is telling you to do otherwise)
Behind the scenes Audio Assist® is saving the calibration data to indexed CV4:17 BEMF Calibration Low and CV4:18 BEMF Calibration High both CV's can be programmed tweaked manually. TCS recommends calibrating using Audio Assist® and then manually tweaking the CV's if need be.
WOWSteam Auto Chuff Intensity
WOWSteam Auto Chuff Intensity
Other Prototype Throttle Mode Features
In Prototype Throttle Mode, the default momentum values are set to the "Mainline Momentum" values stored in the decoder as part of the Momentum Modes feature. The Mainline Momentum values are typically high momentum values which create a more realistic operating experience. The higher momentum values require you to use the Train Brake to slow down your train, rather than simply using the speed control on your throttle.
Traditional Throttle Mode
Traditional throttle mode is how sound decoders of the past would "traditionally" operate, where the chuff intensity was one constant volume, or the prime mover notch is related directly to the speed. E.G. every (n) speed steps (of 128 speed steps) is a different notch, so the faster you go the higher the notch you will be in.
See the video below for a demonstration of Traditional Throttle Mode:
Configuration Options
Traditional throttle mode can be selected though and can be selected using Audio_Assist® menu 4.1. Both WOWSteam and WOWDiesel support Traditional Throttle Mode.
(WOWDiesel ONLY): The speed setpoints that the prime mover changes notches are controlled by CV165 through CV172 - where CV165 controls when the locomotive goes into Notch 1 and CV172 controls what speed step the locomotive goes into Notch 8.
(WOWSteam ONLY): To adjust the volume of the Chuff while in Traditional Throttle Mode, you need to change the volume level for the sound type "Chuff." This can be done easily through Audio Assist®. Note that making this change to the Chuff volume type will affect the maximum volume that the Chuff can reach when in Prototype Throttle Mode.
Other Traditional Throttle Mode Features
When you select Traditional Throttle Mode, the momentum values are set to the "Switching Momentum" values stored in the decoder as part of the Momentum Modes feature. The Switching Momentum values are typically low momentum values which disregard realism in favor of a "snappy" and "slot-car-like" operating experience which closely ties the speed of the locomotive to the speed on your handheld throttle. While it is still possible to slow down your locomotive using the Train Brake, it is not a requirement with Traditional Throttle Mode. That said, you can use the Momentum Modes feature to switch back to Mainline Momentum in case you only want to have the notching or chuff intensity be constant but the momentum be realistic.
Manual Notching Throttle Mode (WOWDiesel)
WOWSound from TCS is the original "Full Throttle" diesel decoder. We call it "Manual Notching" but the feature is essentially the same. Manual notching is available on every WOWSound diesel decoder ever made, beginning with Version 1 released back in January of 2015, as part of our overall Proto Notch™ experience.
What is Manual Notching?
Manual Notching allows you to independently adjust the prime mover sound or "notch sound", and separately control the speed of the locomotive. Real life locomotives can be set in notch eight but operating at slow speed because of a heavy train and steep grade. Your TCS decoder by default is configured to Prototype Throttle Mode, giving you the correct load-based sound!
Manual Notching is for users who like to run prototypically without letting the decoder have all the fun of Auto Notching. If you'd like to move notch sounds manually, there are two modes: Semi-Manual Notching and Full-Manual Notching.
The main advantage of TCS' Manual Notching, when compared to many other implementations by other manufactures, is that with a WOWSound decoder you can completely separate the locomotive physical speed and RPM while still retaining complete control of both simultaneously. Additionally, entering and exiting manual notching is simple. Continue reading to learn more.
How do I use Manual Notching?
Using the throttle, you set the desired speed of the loco, and by using the Manual Notch up (default button 10) and Manual Notch down (default button 11) you can change the notch sound to the desired notch. Yes it is that simple! The notch sound you manually select locks in and overrides the current throttle mode's selected notch setting.
Semi-Manual Notching
The manual notch buttons are always active regardless of which Throttle Mode is selected; however, when not in the Manual Notching Throttle Mode, manual changes are overridden when a speed change is made. For example if you are in Traditional Throttle Mode and running down a hill you may want to manually notch down, and then when you reach the bottom of the hill, changing the speed will revert the notch back to what it was before going down the hill. (Note that this is the behaviour you would observe when in Prototype Throttle Mode.) While in manual notch mode speed changes do not override the manual notch setting.
With semi-manual notching active, when you change the throttle the decoder automatically takes back control and sets the appropriate notch sound as determined by the active throttle mode. Ergo, the notching will return from manual to autpomatic if you change the speed of the locomotive.
Full Manual Notching
With the Manual Notching Throttle Mode active, you can manually select the notch by pressing the notch up or notch down buttons. Meanwhile you can still control the speed as your normally would without affecting the active notch setting. This gives full control of both the speed and notch to you simultaneously and completely independently! With full manual notching active, the decoder does not take back over the selected notch when you change the throttle. You remain in full control of the selected notch at all times. To override the decoder's selected notch setting simply use the Manual Notch up and down buttons at any time. Manual Notching overrides the automatically selected notch sound. You can notch up before you even move the locomotive!
Can I remap the Manual Notching buttons?
Yes. By default, TCS "Manual Notch Up" is button ten, and "Manual Notch Down" is button eleven; however, if Manual Notching is something that you would like to use often then we recommend you re-map the

Why Are My Messages Being Sent As Text And Not IMessage?
Why is it green when I text another iPhone?
The green message background indicates the traditional SMS text message.
It actually means a message that you have sent to someone else is through SMS message service instead of Apple iMessage.
Blue message background means the message is sent via iMessage technology..
What does it mean when your iMessage goes from blue to green?
If you have an iPhone and you use the Messages app to contact an Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone user, iOS recognizes there's no iMessage at the other end and switches (downshifts?) into SMS mode. Your indication that has happened? Green word bubbles instead of blue. … iMessage isn't activated on your device.
Why won't my green texts go through?
They might not have service, or might have their phone in Airplane Mode. … What this means is that if you've exceeded your phone plan's data limit, or you're out of range of LTE or Wi-Fi, iMessage won't work. Your phone will likely resend the text as a green bubble SMS.
Why are one of my texts green?
If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices. Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae).
How do I stop sending Imessages to a non iPhone?
1. Switch off iMessage on your iPhone.Go to the settings section of your iPhone and tap on Messages: … Now switch off iMessage. … Now check that you're getting texts the regular SMS way and not via iMessage any longer. … Go to iCloud in the settings of your MacBook. … Sign in to iCloud.More items…•
What does it mean when your iMessage says sent as text message?
This is because your iPhone has sent your message as an SMS over your mobile network, rather than iMessage on an internet connection. …
Does iMessage turn green when phone is off?
Does green text on iPhone mean blocked?
Blue or Green has nothing to do with being blocked. Blue means iMessage, i.e., messages sent through Apple, Green means messages sent through SMS. Do Not Disturb will not turn them to green as they are delivered but no sound or notification goes through while Do Not Disturb is on.
How do you know if a text message was delivered on iPhone?
Answer: A: If you're sending an iMessage (they're blue and they only go to other iOS/MacOS users), you will see a delivered indicator under the message once it has been delivered. If the person you're sending the message to has the Read Receipt feature enabled, "Delivered" will change to "Read" once it's been read.
Why are my Imessages sending as text messages to one person?
It could be possible that the person has either blocked you and if this is not the case then, try point 2. Sign Out Of iMessage and Sign Back In. Head back to Settings -> Messages and tap to open 'Send & Receive'. … Sign back in using your Apple ID and try sending an iMessage to one of your friends with an iPhone.
How can I tell if my text message was delivered?
Now when you send a text message you can tap and hold the message and select "View message details". On some models, it may be under "View report". The statuses will show "Received", "Delivered", or may simply show the time of delivery.
How do you send a text message on iPhone instead of iMessage?
Open the Settings application by tapping the "Settings" icon on your iPhone's home screen.Tap the "Messages" row to open the Messages screen.Tap the switch next to "iMessage" so that it reads "Off." Your iPhone will now send all messages in text message format instead of using the iMessage service.
How do you know if a green text message was delivered?
You can tell if your message has been sent via iMessage in Apple's messaging app because it'll be blue. If it's green, it's an ordinary text message and doesn't offer the read/delivered receipts. iMessage only works when you're sending messages to other iPhone users.
Will a green text message say delivered?
Meanwhile Android (among literally anything else besides iPhone) will display green indicating it's not an iMessage connection. … This could be because the person is in an area without Wifi or they could even have turned off imessages. On iPhone, text messages don't usually say delivered, only imessages do.
Can I turn off Imessages for one contact?
But if you'd like to send Text Messages to a single contact, you have a couple options. Disable iMessage when messaging your contact, then re-enable it when your conversation is over or you'd like to use iMessage again. To do this, visit Settings > Messages, then toggle off iMessage.


Social Loafing
Definition: Social Loafing is in psychology and sociology regarded as the tendency of individuals to reduce efforts when working on a collective task (i.e., when outputs are pooled with those of other group members) as compared to when the individual works alone. It happens because all members of the group are combining their efforts to reach a common goal. The group members tend to contribute less than what they would if they had to do a task alone.
The phenomenon is regarded as one of the main reasons groups are often less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals.

ANKARA - Radikal
The Agriculture Ministry is analyzing roducts grown in fields, gardens, and green houses for residual pesticides. The ministry plans to revise its list of pesticides. Hürriyet photo
The Agriculture Ministry has rolled up its sleeves and has begun studying agricultural pesticides in order to institute new regulations for their use. According to the findings of the study, a number of chemical pesticides are expected to be completely banned, while others will be replaced with alternative products.
Every year many of Turkey's agricultural products destined for export are sent back to Turkey because they contain the residue of pesticides. In order to address this problem, the ministry has embarked on an analysis of agricultural products grown in fields, gardens, and greenhouses and will revise its list of acceptable agricultural pesticides allowed for use in Turkey.
Since the beginning of June, Turkish pharmacies have been allowed to sell agricultural pesticides, which is causing quite a stir at the Chamber of Agriculture Engineers, who argue that this could be harmful to human health. The president of the Chamber of Agriculture Engineers, Dr. Turhan Tuncer, told daily Radikal that these pesticides should only be sold by experts in the field, and that pharmacies were not appropriate venues for the distribution of such products.

Numerous physical and chemical changes occur in the products during the baking process. These changes may affect the migration mechanism of water and the drying behaviour of the product. In the present study temperature effects on the drying behaviour of raw thin biscuits of 7x5x0.25 cm dimensions were studied in a laboratory oven by applying constant or linearly decreasing oven temperatures between 100 and 195-degrees-C. With constant oven temperatures a falling rate drying model, and with linearly decreasing oven temperatures a constant rate drying model stimulated these processes. Final moisture contents are one of the major properties determining the shelf life of the biscuits. These models may be used as simple methods for calculating the baking times.

Gross negligence under Greek law
Gross negligence in Greek law is not explicitly defined in the Civil Code. It is derived from the combined application of articles 330, 332 and 334 of the Civil code. In the lack of an express definition and specific criteria for it, gross negligence is deemed to exist when the deviation from the behavior of an ordinary person is important, unusual and especially great, indicating a total disregard of the acting person for the illegal consequences incurred by his act to a third party by. Gross negligence is an abstract legal notion, and hence a court's ruling as to whether the facts of a case constitute gross negligence is subject to the annulment of the Areios Pagos (Supreme Court).
Gross negligence does not comprise cases of willful misconduct. The latter is equal to deceit (either direct, indirect or necessary deceit). In cases of gross or simple negligence, the person at fault either does not foresee the upcoming result of his actions or he foresees it but acts in the hope that he will avoid it.

Effects of work of breathing (WOB) on blood flow during exercise
Effects of work of breathing on blood flow during exercise
Published in Experimental Physiology this research sought to simultaneously assess leg and respiratory muscle blood flow during intense exercise while manipulating the work of breathing (WOB).
Researchers from Canada & Brazil hypothesised:
 1. Increasing the work of breathing would increase respiratory muscle blood flow and decrease leg blood flow.
 2. Decreasing the work of breathing would decrease respiratory muscle blood flow and increase leg blood flow.
The work of breathing (WOB)
Changes in work of breathing are significantly and positively related to changes in respiratory muscle blood flow. By which it shows that increasing the work of breathing increases blood flow.
On the other hand, changes in work of breathing are inversely related to changes in locomotor blood flow. So decreasing the work of breathing increases locomotor blood flow.
Study findings
Therefore findings from the study support the concept that respiratory muscle work significantly influences the distribution of blood flow to both respiratory and locomotor muscles.

Layer and trigger issues
I have a layer (intro layer) with 3 characters with a trigger for each that sends them to separate layers (i.e. character 1 layer, character 2 layer, etc). Each character layer then sends them back to the intro layer when the layer timeline ends. After all 3 characters have been clicked and the character layers viewed I want a trigger to send it to intro layer2. The character layers can also be viewed in any order. How can I do this?
2 Replies
Kevin Thorn
Hi Jennifer,
First, when you say "Intro Layer" are you referring to the base layer - the slide itself?
To achieve this you would probably take advantage of a few variables. If you're not comfortable with variables, don't worry...they're not that bad.
Here's one way to set it up. In order to indicate a user has visited each of the characters you may want to add some sort of visual cue.
 1. Add something like a 'checkmark' to the Visited State of each Character.
 2. Set the base slide properties to "Resume Saved State."
 3. On each of the character layers, set a trigger to Hide This Layer when timeline ends. This will go back to base slide.
 4. Since the user clicked a character it is now in a visited state. So when step #3 completes and hides that layer, the added checkmark to that character should now be visible - Visited.
To jump to your second intro layer, you can add a fourth layer to this slide or jump to a new slide altogether.
 1. Set a Slide Trigger on base slide that Jumps To Slide # - or - Show Layer [fourth layer] > when > character1 AND character2 AND character3 are in a Visited state.
Caution here on that last trigger because it will auto jump to that fourth layer or slide 'before' seeing that final character's Visited state - checkmark. You might want to consider adding a button to the base slide set to Hidden initially. Then change the state of that button when all three character's Visited states are present. Then add a trigger to that button that shows the fourth layer or jumps to the next slide.
Good luck and hope this helps!
Jennifer Jefts
Hi Kevin,
The "intro layer" is not the base layer. I have base layer that I don't want involved in this interaction - it is a created lightbox interaction. i haven't had a chance to try your scenario, but it will it work since the intro layer is not the base layer?


Scan All Libraries
When you add or remove media from your Plex server you will need to scan the libraries to update Plex with the changed media. You can run the scan from the Plex Web app, or you can use this API command to scan from outside of Plex.
You should run a scan when one of the following has occurred:
 - Added or removed media files.
 - Added or removed directories from a library.
 - Renamed a media file or directory.
 - Moved any files from one location to another.
This command will run a scan for all libraries in your Plex server.

Tennessee State Motto
South Dakota Motto
Agriculture and Commerce
The state motto of Tennessee is "Agriculture and Commerce." It is taken from words on the Tennessee state seal and was formally adopted in 1987.
The significance of the motto can be understood while looking at Tennessee's economic growth. The state is one of the most agriculturally diverse states in the country due to its rich soil, good climate, and rainfall. Not only does the terrain range from mountains to hills to flatlands so does the kind of agriculture made possible there. East Tennessee is populated with livestock and dairies while middle Tennessee is greener with its orchards, nurseries, and vegetable production, and western Tennessee tends to various crops.

Ok, so I the organization I am working for has a sharepoint database that multiple people update every time they do an inspection of natural resources on a parcel in the county. This database has the following fields:
*Parcel Number
*Date
*Notes
*Inspector
*Action
I have created a feature class with a centroid with these attributes placed in each parcel that has been inspected.
Is there a way to dynamically link the sharepoint database to the geodatabase so that when they go in and change/add anything to the notes section it actively changes (and adds new points to newly listed parcels) the attributes in the featureclass? If this isn't entirely clear, let me know! THANKS!
IF NOT: This layer only needs to be updated monthly. I am able to export it to a excel or csv file. Is there a quick way to create the centroids layer from this table? THANKS AGAIN!

1 Answer 1
Take a look at Query Layers.
 - Load your parcel boundary layer into ArcMap
 - Pull the information you require from your back-end Sharepoint into a stand-alone table in ArcMap (including the ID field that joins it to the Parcel)
 - Make a join between from the parcel layer to the query layer.
 - I believe that this link should now be dynamic and will pull the data directly from the db behind Sharepoint.
Any attributes within the fields that you have pulled in from Sharepoint that get changed at the SP end, these should flow through to your MXD.
A less dynamic approach would be suck the data you want out of Sharepoint, into an XLS, and load the XLS into your MXD and then join your parcel layer to that.
You have not given any background into the bigger picture on what you are trying to achieve. You may want to take a look at ArcGIS for Sharepoint.
I might be missing something, but I do not see the need to calculate centroids everytime. Do the parcel boundaries change from month to month?

National Trust reveals blossoming ambitions for city of culture as 'Project Blossom' starts to take root around UK
Coventry is the latest city to confirm plans for a new blossom garden as part of the National Trust and its partners' ambition to create hundreds of blossom spaces in urban areas across England, Wales and Northern Ireland over the next five years, to ensure more people have access to nature and green spaces. The charity and its partners also hope to create a UK-equivalent of Japan's world-famous Hanami (blossom viewing).
The new blossom garden in Charterhouse Heritage Park will mark Coventry's tenure as City of Culture. And, today, the locations and plans for blossom plantings in Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth, first announced in February, have also been revealed.
The National Trust has also confirmed 46 new blossom projects which will be planted on the land in its care across the country over the next few months.
Supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery, CJ Wildlife and the National Trust, projects include: creating new orchards at Stourhead in Wiltshire and Antony in Cornwall; the creation of a new edible forest of fruit and nut trees circled with blossoming hedgerows at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire; a new avenue of flowering cherry trees at Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire; new blossoming trees to encourage people to explore different areas of the estate at Winston Churchill's home, Chartwell in Kent; 750 blossoming trees in the South Lakes to become the next generation of blossom trees in the area; replacing lost trees in the orchard at Crom in Northern Ireland and planting new blossom trees across the Gower and Brecon Beacons in Wales.
All plantings will help towards the Trust's ambitions to plant and establish 20 million trees by 2030 to help in the fight against climate change and to create more homes for nature. They will also help in its aim to help tackle unequal access to green space across Britain and build on the importance given to green spaces and nature during lockdown when thousands found time spent in nature beneficial not just for their physical health but mental wellbeing too.
Hilary McGrady, Director General of the National Trust said: "We've been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm from towns, cities and local communities around the country after our first blossom garden was unveiled in London this year. Bringing more blossom to cities and to National Trust landscapes is an important part of our plans to plant 20 million trees, give more homes to nature and help people connect with nature wherever they are.
"This project goes back to our roots and one of our founders' key desires – to ensure more people have beautiful spaces to enjoy."
In Coventry, the trees will be planted in the newly-created 70 acre Charterhouse Heritage Park. Members of the local community will be asked to share their thoughts on where the blossom garden should be located, its design and uses for the space.
Lucy Reid, National Trust Assistant Director of Operations for the Midlands, said: "We're delighted to be working with Historic Coventry Trust (HCT) to create what will be a special place for local people to spend time, reflect and connect with nature.
"The Charterhouse Heritage Park is a 70-acre site where land is being regenerated by Historic Coventry Trust to provide an important resource for community health and economic wellbeing on the edge of Coventry City Centre. A blossom garden will be a beautiful addition to the park and we hope to inspire and work closely with neighbours to leave a lasting legacy."
Ian Harrabin, Chairman, Historic Coventry Trust, said: "The landscape around Charterhouse has been important to the citizens of Coventry for many years, and the local community have come together to make sure that this space is an oasis for wildlife and people, and an area of calm and tranquillity on the edge of the bustling city.
"Historic Coventry Trust has been working in close partnership with the National Trust at Charterhouse over the last few years, and we are excited to work with them to develop this blossom garden to allow all to escape, refresh and reconnect with nature for many years to come."
In Newcastle, Urban Green Newcastle, working in partnership with the City Council and the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative, will plant 26 ancient varieties of cherry blossom tree, Prunus 'Tai-Haku' trees - at Exhibition Park, an area on the outskirts of the city close to the University and the hospital.
The plans are for a double avenue 'swirl' of blossom trees by the lake with a circular pathway.
Barbara Hooper, Director, Parks & Allotments at Urban Green Newcastle says: "We are delighted to be part of this wonderful initiative, which will allow us to create a beautiful space in the heart of our park which will, we hope, evoke a sense of wellbeing and calm. The location of the blossom circle will provide a real focal point, giving visitors a natural place to stop and take a moment to contemplate and embrace nature."
The sites in Nottingham will be planted at Lenton Recreation Ground, a popular and historic site 30 minutes from the city centre and St Mary's Rest Garden on the edge of the city adjacent to the popular Victoria park.
At Lenton recreation ground, 28 ornamental mature cherry trees will be planted along a new path through the park to give the area a new focal point.
Cllr Rosemary Healey, Lead Councillor for Parks and Open Spaces at Nottingham City Council says: "We hope to create a space for reflection and remembrance following the coronavirus pandemic.
"Our plans will also enable us to explore our wider ambition of tackling inequality in parks and to make them more appealing and safer for more people to enjoy."
Twenty ornamental, semi-mature cherry trees will be planted in an avenue style at St Mary's Rest Garden on the edge of the city centre, adjacent to the much-visited Victoria park.
Cllr Healey continues: "We hope to create a beautiful space for the local community where they can connect to nature.
"We know that trees absorb harmful pollution and can help reduce stress levels. This site based in Nottingham City Centre will create a peaceful sanctuary so that more people can enjoy moments of calm away from busy city life."
The Plymouth site will be located on the coast at Devil's Point, overlooking Plymouth Sound on the south-west coastal footpath which also has local significance due to being the place where families coming to wave off members going to sea on naval operations.
The trees will be planted in a semicircle design and will be used to highlight the blossoming meadows below the waves in the seagrass beds just offshore.
Councillor Patrick Nicholson, Deputy Leader of Plymouth City Council, said: "We are delighted to be a part of the blossom project which will create a people space for hope and reflection as we move forward from the pandemic.
"Our location on the waterfront at Devil's Point is already incredible, with community space to enjoy beautiful views and a host of other activities. That's why it's so great that with the addition of the blossom circle, we'll have a further pull for the area; and the chance to celebrate the beauty of spring and nature year after year."
Funding for the projects in Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth has come in part from People's Postcode Lottery.
Laura Chow, Head of Charities said: "We're delighted funding raised by our players is supporting Blossom Together, an important initiative bringing people and communities together through nature spaces in Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth.
"It's also fantastic to see and hear more about the creative ideas for projects at various National Trust places across the country – and we're excited to see how these trees start to grow and bloom over the coming years, to bring joy to the many visitors to these places."

The effect of surface temperature on fingerprintsFeatured science projectScience project video
popular science fair projects
Complexity level:
Project cost ($):
Time required:
4 hours for preparation, 1 hour to carry out the science fair project experiment
Material availability:
Easily obtained at a supermarket
Safety concerns:
This science fair project was done to investigate the effect of surface temperature on the quality of fingerprints obtained. The testing was done by extracting fingerprints from drinking glasses at various temperatures.
The fingerprint obtained from a surface with a lower temperature will be clearer.
The skin on the surface of our palm and feet has many ridges, called friction ridges. Every person will have a pattern of ridges that is unique only to them, and which will not change over time. The pattern of ridges on fingers is called the fingerprint.
These ridges help in amplifying the vibrations felt by our fingers, when rubbed over rough surfaces. They help us to feel and perceive the texture of a surface. Friction ridges also give us a better grip on smooth, wet, oily or slippery surfaces.
Fingerprints that are left on a surface are either patent or latent. Patent prints are left by substances like ink, blood, oil or paint, while latent prints are left on surfaces by skin secretions like oil or sweat. The latter is normally not visible to the naked eye. Forensic experts normally find and use the fingerprints found in a crime scene to identity the person or persons who had been present at the scene.
Scientific Terms
Fingerprint, friction ridges, amplify, vibration, patent fingerprint, latent fingerprint
The materials required for this science fair project:
- 6 drinking glasses
- 1 bag of ice
- 1 hot plate
- 1 thermometer
- Tap water
- 1 bottle of cocoa powder
- 1 soft brush
- 1 roll of transparent cellophane tape (30mm width)
- A4 size paper
- 1 plastic glove
- 1 piece of cloth
- 1 black marker
1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the temperature of the drinking glasses. The dependent variable is the clarity of the fingerprint made on the glass. This is determined by comparing powdered copies of fingerprints obtained on pieces of cellophane tape. The constants (control variables) are the drinking glasses, the finger used to create the fingerprints, the cocoa power as well as the softness of the brush used.
2. Label the 6 drinking glasses as 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C and 50°C respectively with the black marker. Record the temperatures on a sheet of A4 paper, 50mm apart.
3. Wear the plastic glove and carefully clean the drinking glasses with a wet cloth, removing all stains and fingerprints.
4. Fill the 6 glasses with tap water till they are about 80% full. Adjust the temperature of the water in each glass to 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C or 50°C according to the temperature marked on each glass. Lower the temperature of the water by stirring in ice cubes, and increase the temperature of the water by placing the glass on a hot plate and setting it to the appropriate temperature.
5. Check the temperature of the water in each glass using a thermometer. Once the temperature of both the water and glass has stabilized, remove the plastic glove. Press a finger firmly against the surface of the glass to create a fingerprint.
6. Wear the plastic glove again and pour the water out from the glass. Allow the temperature of the glass to return to room temperature.
7. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on the surface of the glass. Using the soft brush gently dust the powder off the glass surface.A fingerprint will appear. Place the adhesive side of the transparent cellophane tape over the fingerprint to collect it. Then, stick the piece of tape onto the A4 paper, under the appropriate label.
8. Once all 6 prints have been taken and placed on the A4 paper, make a comparison and rate them 1 to 6. 1 being the clearest fingerprint and 6 being the least clear fingerprint.
The results show that the fingerprint obtained at 0°C was the most clear., The quality of the fingerprint obtained becomes more unclear as the temperature increases.
Glass temperature 0°C 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C 50°C
Fingerprint Rating 1 2 3 4 5 6
The hypothesis that fingerprints obtained from a surface with lower temperature will be clearer has been proven to be true.
Fingerprints are now used for identification of individuals and at crime scene investigations. Some banks even use fingerprint detectors to verify the identity of a person before financial transactions are permitted. Access to certain restricted areas may also be controlled by fingerprint scanning. Sometimes, crossing country borders also requires fingerprint identification.
Also consider
The science fair project may be repeated by using different types of surfaces like marble, PVC or wood finishing.

I want to know what exactly is different in the verbs "mischen" and "vermischen". Both of them mean to mix.
Is there any example where they can mean a specific thing? Are they interchangeable?
share|improve this question
Depends on context. A generic answer might be that vermischen is rather "to mix up, muddle, and/or confuse" while mischen is more deliberate. However, there certainly quite a many contexts that proves me wrong on that. – Em1 Apr 22 '14 at 12:58

An example where only one of the options is appropriate: Shuffling a deck of cards is always "mischen", never "vermischen". As a rule of thumb use "mischen" on countable sets and "vermischen" when the result is homogenous.
Beware: "mixing a drink" is neither: the correct translation is "einen Drink mixen".
share|improve this answer
well "einen Drink mischen" is not unheard of... – Vogel612 Apr 28 '14 at 16:50
Maybe its helpful that "vermischen" indicates that there are at least 2 components while "mischen" can be of one substance. Also look for the Noun " das Gemisch" there is no noun of "vermischen".
share|improve this answer
I upvoted because the 2-component-point is very pertinent, but I have to contest the last sentence: "Vermischung" and "Vermischtes" exists. – Phira Apr 24 '14 at 23:52
According to the german wiktionary the preposition "ver-" has several meanings (well it's an old complicated language) amongst these is the notion of a "prcess that is hard to reverse" like in to fall in love sich ver-lieben. I guess that might be a good explanation. So it wants to emphasize a process of mixing that is irreversible. So if you mix water you sill end up with water. but if you mix water and sugar (so two or more components) and you "vermisch" them then they are really mixed without an easy way to separate them. this is opposed to the deck of cards that would be easy to demix if you shuffled it.
From my feeling as a native these two words can be interchanged quite frequently without a drastic change. So if someone told me "ich vermische die Karten" I would not feel compelled to correct him ;-)
share|improve this answer
Very good points about the irreversibility, but "ich vermische die Karten" for a professional act of shuffling feels very wrong. – Phira Apr 24 '14 at 23:58
I agree it is not the really right thing, however if someone would say that I would not feel compelled to correct him in the same way as if he said "ich vermenge die Karten" for example. Also if you say "ich vermische die roten mit den grünen Karten" it would feel right again, wouldn't you say? – Magellan88 Apr 25 '14 at 8:56
"Kannst du die Karten noch einmal mischen, damit Herz und Treff besser vermischt werden?" would sound alright. – Phira Apr 25 '14 at 23:42
Yes that's sounds exactly right to me. Just note that treff is usually Kreuz in German (I know people playing bridge usually use the French words) – Magellan88 Apr 26 '14 at 11:31
Karten vermischen? Nope! Da VERwechselst du wohl etwas. – DisplayName Apr 28 '14 at 15:14
mischen - shuffle (bring chaos into some order) vermischen - mix together (mix more than one substance together) Gemisch - Mixture - mixture of more than one component (fertig) gemischt - done mixing something (fertig) vermischt - done mixing two or more components
Yes! Der Mischvorgang ist beendet. No! Der Vermischvorgang ist beendet.
mischen --> generally increasing the entropy somewhere
vermischen --> mixing two or more things of different character together

Summary
Background. Skin ageing is a continuous process, with intrinsic factors determining which extrinsic factors (chronic sun exposure and other environmental factors, particularly smoking) have the greatest effect.
Aim. To investigate the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on skin ageing in a Mediterranean population from Ankara, Turkey.
Methods. In total, 574 (337 women, 237 men; age range 18–89 years) were enrolled into the study. Data were collected on age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), skin phototype, smoking status, consumption of alcohol (> 3 units/week) and coffee (> 1 cup/day), sun exposure, use of sunscreen and sunglasses, and involvement in sports and physical activities. The Daniell skin-wrinkling grading system was used as a marker of skin ageing.
Results. We found that male gender, chronic sun exposure and number of pack-years of cigarette smoking significantly contributed to the formation of facial wrinkles. There was a negative correlation between facial wrinkling and the use of sunscreen and sunglasses and facial wrinkling (P < 0.001 for both). We did not find any significant association between wrinkling score and alcohol consumption, coffee consumption, sports participation or d skin phototype. Moreover, wrinkling score was significantly higher in patients with a BMI < 25 kg/m2 than in patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m2 (P < 0.018). Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol consumption, skin phototype, sun exposure, and use of sunglasses and topical sun protection. We found that gender and age were significantly associated with skin ageing (P < 0.014 and < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion. In this study, older age, male gender, low BMI, smoking and chronic sun exposure had a negative influence on skin ageing in a Turkish population.

At the behest of Gerhard Paseman I'll describe the problem that I alluded to in name for a partial order.
Let $M = M(\infty)$ denote the set of all finite subsets of the positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. As I mentioned in my other question, $M$ has a partial order defined as follows: If $S \in M$ and $i \ge 1$ is an integer, denote by $S_i$ the $i$-th largest element of $S$. We say that $S \ge_R T$ if $|S| \ge |T|$ and $S_i \ge T_i$ for $i = 1, \dots, |T|$. For any finite subset $A \subset M$ define the polynomial $$ f_A(t) := \sum_{S \in A} \sum_{T \in A} t^{|S \Delta T|},$$
where $S \Delta T$ denotes the symmetric difference. If $ p \in (0,1)$ say that a finite subset $A \subset M$ is optimal at $p$ if $f_A(p) \ge f_B(p)$ for all subsets $B \subset M$ with $|B| = |A|$. Say that $A$ is optimal, if there is some $p \in (0,1)$ for which $A$ is optimal at $p$. Say that $A$ is isomorphic to $B$ if there is a permutation $\pi \in S_{\infty}$ (permutations of $\mathbb{N}$ which only move a finite set of elements) and a subset $T \in M$ such that $B = \{ \pi(S) \Delta T : S \in A \}$. It's easy to see that if $A$ is isomorphic to $B$ then $f_A(t) = f_B(t)$.
Another way of thinking of $M$ is to consider it to be infinite sequences of 0's and 1's with only a finite number of 1's (i.e. infinite bit-strings). Then cardinality becomes Hamming weight and symmetric difference becomes exclusive or. Isomorphic sets of bit-strings would be obtained from one another by permuting coordinates (every bit string in the set gets permuted in the same way), and then xoring everything with a common bit-string.
In (Gordon, Miller, Ostapenko) we proved that if $A$ is optimal then it is isomorphic to an order ideal for the order $\le_R$. For a fixed value $N$ for $|A|$ we were then able to make a search for all order ideals of size $N$, and then determine the optimal ones (for some $p$) among those. We were able to do this by looking at the subposet of $M$ of elements $S \in M$ such that $|\{ T : T \le_R S \}| \le N$. In particular we were interested in optimal sets whose cardinality is a power of 2. The search for cardinality 64 took about 1/2 hour. Unless we have a new idea the search for $N=128$ is out of the question. For $N=64$ there are _PHONE_ order ideals of cardinality 64, but less than 100 of them are optimal. Thus I was hoping that if there are theorems around about the structure of the order ideals of $M(\infty)$ that that might help us to make a more efficient search. In the previous question, Richard Stanley pointed out that the partial order that I was using had been studied before in one of his papers.
share|improve this question
Thank you for showing this problem. I assume in the definition of A isomorphic to B you want B= instead of A=. Also, I apologize for an earlier error. The partial order I and Libor Polak used involved multisets, not sets, of the positive integers. I shall contemplate upon this problem. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.11 – Gerhard Paseman Aug 11 '11 at 19:03
Also, it is easy for me to get confused. A in M suggests that A is a set of numbers. A finite set A from M is a finite subset of M. By a finite set A in M I am guessing you mean the latter, but I would expect A subset M instead of what you have, which is A in M. Can I consider it a typo, and mentally substitue the subset symbol for the member of symbol in those places to get your meaning? Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.11 – Gerhard Paseman Aug 11 '11 at 19:11
_USER_: I fixed the typos (I think that I got all of them). One other thing: you can also define a different partial order on subsets of M: Say that $A \ge_D B$ if $f_A(t) \ge f_B(t)$ for all $t \in (0,1)$ (the $D$ is for dominates). It's necessary (but not sufficient) for $A$ to be maximal in this partial order (at least restricted to sets of cardinality $|A|$) in order for it to be optimal. I found empirically that almost all of the maximal sets for $N=64$ were optimal. – Victor Miller Aug 11 '11 at 22:36

Referencing Grid Level Expressions from Advanced Query
Cory Fifield -
Trouble viewing images? Click on images to enlarge.
In this article we cover referencing Grid Level Expressions from Advanced Query.
How does it work?
Expressions are processed at the data grid level, after the query results have been processed and returned from the database. Expressions are then added to the resulting dataset and accessible throughout VDM's controls. If you're using Advanced Query, VDM needs to know where to place the Expressions in the resulting dataset. So you can add an expression to the Grid after you run an Advanced Query, but if they're not added to the Field Selection List in the Advanced Query, VDM doesn't know where to put them.
We don't recommend Grid Level Expressions be used with Advanced Query. We recommend Advanced Queries be used for SQL Scripting only, and additional calculations that need to be performed on the resulting dataset be configured and completed using Calculated Fields in Finished Reports or Visualize.
How to reference grid level expression in Advanced Query
1. Create your Advanced Query and run it.
2. Create the Grid Expressions. Make sure to have the correct datatypes used for the expression.
3. Add the new expression(s) to the select statement in the Advanced Query.
4. Save, run and preview the View with the new expression(s) added to the Advanced Query.

How To Prepare A Pressure Cooker To Bake Cake
khao's picture
Have you ever tasted a pressure cooker cake? It tastes as amazing as an oven baked cake; the only difference is that you have to prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake instead of an oven.
The pressure cooker creates pressure and heat from the steam is built in it. By cooking in pressure cooker one not only gets tasty food to eat but also saves on cooking time.
However, there are two ways to bake a cake in pressure cooker; sand way and the water way.
It is up to you, the method you want your cake to be baked as cake made by both these methods are soft and delicious.
The most important part in baking cake in a pressure cooker is to first prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake. So, here is what you need to do:
 - Take a pressure cooker, big enough to contain the baking pan.
 - Wash it firmly with soap solution. The cooker should be free of odor before a cake is baked or else it may spoil the cake's taste.
 - Wipe it with a clean towel.
 - Now, remove the whistle of the pressure cooker. We do not make use of the whistle while baking cake. The vent is let open so that the steam can disperse.
 - If you want to bake cake with sand method, put some sand on the cooker's base not more than an inch. This method is recommended if you do not have a baking stand to keep the baking pan. This helps the baking pan by not letting it touch the surface of pressure cooker.
 - If you have a baking stand for baking pan, follow the water method for baking. Pour water in the pressure cooker, at least one and half inch up from the bottom. Now keep the baking stand in the cooker.
 - Place the baking pan filled with the cake batter on the sand or the baking stand, depending on your method.
 - Put the lid of pressure cooker, without the whistle and let the pressure cooker hear for 45 minutes on low flame.
The cake will be ready; you can check it by putting a toothpick or a knife.

Ginseng Rush in Minnesota
Lass, William E
This article discuses the history of the ginseng "boom" that took place in Minnesota, including the lower Minnesota River Valley, in the late 1850s. the gathering of wild ginseng root for sale to markets in China was a major economic activity for the region, and helped to mitigate the impact of a financial depression following the bank failures of the Panic of 1857. Ginseng became known as the "weed that saved Minnesota." The author also describes the ginseng market following its boom period, and the shift form wild to cultivated ginseng in the early twentieth century.

A method for 3D model content-based search and retrieval based on the 3D Radon transform and a querying-by-3D-model approach, is presented. Descriptors are extracted using the 3D Radon transform and applying a set of functionals on the transform coefficients. Similarity measures are then created for the extracted descriptors and introduced into a 3D model-matching algorithm. This results to a very fast and accurate matching method. Experiments were performed using two different databases and comparing the proposed method with others. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be used for 3D model search and retrieval in a highly efficient manner.
